do you think the president will get his big package? an alternative smaller plan? or is it possible a deal doesn't get done at all? >> i'm really surprised it would be senate republicans that would have some light at the end of the tunnel, and i hope it's not another train. but it seems as though this alternative plan b could remove the threat of the economy of the united states just losing all faith and credit by the inability of the president to pay our debts, that is the nation's debt, not his. we still are hopeful that there is an opportunity for us to protect the vulnerable, the aged and the sick, and that at the same time bring some equity and reform to our tax system. but in the house of representatives, the republicans have no unity of purpose. they're having such a problem over there that there's nothing that democrats in the house can really vote for. >> let me ask you about that very specifically, because so much has been made of this rift between john boehner and eric cantor. let me play this for you. >> let me just say, we have been in this fight toget
